Route
How does the day work?
A vehicle carries you inland from Haleiwa before a guided walk across private ridges and stream crossings.
- 240 min
1. North Shore Marketplace
The ride from the marketplace leads to private conservation land. Your guide takes you across ridges and streams, with a mountain pool visit before lunch.
The 4 hours cover the ride inland and the guided trail visit. You return to the North Shore Marketplace meeting point after lunch.
Pickup and meeting point
- Haleiwa meeting point: Your guide meets you beside the picnic tables outside Aloha General Store. The address is 66-250 Kamehameha Highway in North Shore Marketplace.
- Ride from Waikiki: Arrive in Haleiwa using your own transport for the 9 a.m. departure. The included vehicle ride begins on the North Shore.
- Weather clothing: The hike runs in all weather, so your clothes need to suit the conditions. Rain doesn't automatically cancel the day.
- Lunch request: Dietary requirements need to be sent when you book. A vegetarian lunch is available by advance request.
Before you book
- Plan your own transport to North Shore Marketplace. The vehicle to the trailhead doesn't collect you in Waikiki.
Fit
Is this tour right for you?
A North Shore day suits this hike if you can reach Haleiwa for 9 a.m. and leave 4 hours for the outing. Children must be at least 10. You need moderate fitness for ridges and stream crossings. The booking doesn't cover your Waikiki transfer.
For selected hotel or Pier 8 pickup, Bike Hawaii's waterfall hike costs from $92.31 per adult. For a guided Manoa walk and lunch with Waikiki transport, Nature and You costs from $119 per adult.
Who it's not for
- Families with children under 10
- Travelers needing a Waikiki shuttle with the booking
- Walkers unable to manage ridges and stream crossings
- Pregnant travelers or those with spinal injuries
Good to know
Know before you go
Guests must be at least 10, and children need an accompanying adult. Moderate fitness is required. Pregnancy or spinal injuries make this a poor fit, with ridge walking and stream crossings forming part of the outing.
The trip runs in all weather conditions, though severe weather can cancel it. Your clothing needs to suit the day. A private trail setting doesn't remove wet ground or the need to manage stream crossings.
Lunch and snacks are included with bottled water. Vegetarian food is available if requested when booking. Bring any dietary requirements into that conversation before the trip, since the meal follows the hike away from town.
Meet outside Aloha General Store at the North Shore Marketplace picnic tables. The address is 66-250 Kamehameha Highway. Your Waikiki journey is separate, so arrange transport to Haleiwa before relying on the tour's inland vehicle.
Too few travelers can cancel an accepted booking. You would then be offered an alternative or a full refund. A reservation accepts one to ten guests with an adult, but one booking alone doesn't guarantee operation.
Your booking is accepted immediately and uses a mobile ticket. Cancellation at least 24 hours before departure earns a full refund. Later cancellations don't qualify, so keep the deadline in mind when arranging your separate ride north.

Questions
People also ask
- Does Huakai Iki include transport from Waikiki?
No, you need to reach Haleiwa yourself for the 9 a.m. start. The included 4WD ride begins there. It takes you inland to the private trails, and the outing returns to the same Haleiwa meeting point afterward.
- How much does North Shore EcoTours' Huakai Iki cost?
The tour costs from $110.67 per adult for a 4-hour outing. Private conservation land fees are included. You also get the guide and inland transport, with lunch and bottled water supplied during the day away from Haleiwa.
- Is Huakai Iki a private tour for your party?
No exclusive departure is promised by this booking, which allows a group of up to 10. The trails are on private conservation land. That describes access to the location, so you shouldn't equate it with having the guide and vehicle to yourselves.
- Which days does North Shore EcoTours run Huakai Iki?
Huakai Iki departs at 9 a.m. on Tuesdays and Fridays. You need 4 hours for the outing itself. Plan your separate journey to Haleiwa around that start, with enough room afterward for the drive back to where you're staying.
- Can a family take North Shore EcoTours' Little Hiking Adventure?
Yes, children can participate from age 10 with an adult. Child tickets cover ages 10 to 12. Your family still needs moderate fitness for the ridges and stream crossings, so the name doesn't mean an effortless walk for every child.
